I found a couple other copies of this book online so it is not quite "Lost Poetry" but it is close. - At this point in time there is a copy on eBay for .99¢ but the shipping is where the seller makes up for the low price. Looks like a clean copy though... A couple others can be found through BookFinder.com

To the best of my knowledge this is a single printing item. Unless the print on demand folks get hold of it and jack the price of a NEW COPY up to a kazillion dollars... (When buying books online do some research!!! Know what you want and why. Is it for reading, collecting or a gift copy. The difference between collectible and readers copy can be big bucks but so is resale value...- Email the seller! Don't be shy to ask questions or to ask for pictures.)

And follows a couple sample poems. I will say, of the poems I read I liked these two best so use your own judgment if you want this volume on your bookshelf...

Oven Altar

If by some recipe, I'd bake A perfectly heavenly sort of cake, I'd never feelThat I could kneelAnd offer it to God!God dispenses-mortals take-They should give gratitude, not cake!

Retreat

A tiny terraced garden on a lovely, lonely hill-Below a river singing,Above a bird awinging, Beyond, a bell, sweet, ringing; Peace, my heart be still.

About Me

Ok, Who Am I? This is a question most men do not want to answer because it takes a bit of introspection. - I can say ABOUT me I've been attending the same church since 1981 or thereabouts. through 3 pastors and I'm still there because I've yet to hear God to tell me to go elsewhere. I'm glad he hasn't. I love the place and people.
Worked in the same printing shop from '85 till 2010 and now put in part time work at another shop since the city purchased the property and has done nothing to it since. What a waste of taxpayer dollars. - - Oh! Love my work too. (letterpress printing)
Been married since '88 - This year is firm cause I just asked the wife - Love my wife and daughter.
After these I love books.
